formulated the policy of again publishing the records of the Council. My gratitude also goes to
Dr. Morris L. Radoff, State Archivist and member of the Publications Committee, who gen-
erously furnished the Maryland Historical Society with photostat copies of the original records
for this volume, and to Dr. St. Julien R. Childs who carefully prepared the typescript for the
editor and Mr. Ivan Kauffman for his proof reading. My thanks also go to Dr. Harold R.
Manakee for his guidance and advice.
